Russia says 290 drones targeted Moscow and nearby regions in the overnight Ukrainian assault.
Ukraine has launched a major drone attack on Moscow, killing two people and setting fire to a warehouse in the capital city, Russian officials say.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Tuesday that the overnight assault involved 650 drones heading towards the city, most of which were shot down, as both sides intensify long-range strikes on infrastructure before winter.
Regional Governor Andrei Vorobyov said one person was killed in Radumlya and another was killed in Barbybino. He said seven people had been injured and that 47 houses, four apartments and three cars had been damaged.
He said 185 drones were “destroyed or neutralised” over the wider region.
Prominent war blogger Yuri Podolyaka said an oil storage tank was hit at the Volodarskaya oil storage and distribution facility, the biggest in the Moscow region. The facility stores diesel, petrol and jet fuel. There was no official confirmation that it had been hit.
Volodarskaya is one of the major hubs in the distribution system of Transneft and is linked to Moscow’s main oil refinery. It supplies fuel to all three of the capital’s large airports.
Ukraine has increasingly targeted oil refineries, depots and export terminals in an effort to deprive Moscow of the revenues it needs to finance the war that Russia began in February 2022.
Reporting from Moscow, Al Jazeera’s Dmitry Medvenko said the attack ended a relative lull in large Ukrainian strikes on Moscow since September 20.
Separately on Tuesday, a Ukrainian drone attack on a minibus in the Russian-occupied part of the Ukrainian Zaporizhia region killed three people, Moscow-installed authorities said.
